Theatre Restoration Stevensons of Norwich

IN SITU PLASTER REPAIRS

Plaster Preservation

Wherever possible, in situ repairs will take place on the plaster mouldings using traditional methods to match the existing design. This includes the re-securing of loose plaster, physical repairs to cracked or damaged surfaces, and ensuring that the moulding is secured firmly to primary and secondary fixing points.

Theatre Royal Newcastle Restoration

Where plasterwork is damaged beyond repair, the Stevensons plasterers will work to preserve the original design by taking a rubber imprint of the plasterwork, a process known as ‘squeezing’. Through our team of designers, or by using the ‘squeezed’ moulds, we can recreate detailed plaster designs, restoring the theatre to its original glory.

Theatre Royal, Newcastle

Theatre Survey & Restoration

Occupying its current site since 1837, the majestic Theatre Royal in Newcastle underwent extensive renovations in 2011 across the entire building, with Stevensons playing a major role in the restoration of the plasterwork in the main theatre.

Constructed from fibrous plaster, the balcony fronts, proscenium arch and ceiling required a thorough integrity survey, which identified areas which needed strengthening, and in some cases, in situ repairs to the plaster surface took place. To the rear of the stalls, Stevensons replaced the existing ceiling with a new fibrous plaster design, which was cast in Norwich and transported to Newcastle in sections, where each section was joined seamlessly to a supporting grid.

Complete Plasterwork Restoration

Featuring highly detailed Victorian plasterwork throughout, the former British Rail offices in London were restored to their full glory with the opening of the Landmark Hotel. Stevensons were requested to assist with the overhaul, restoring the extensive plasterwork back to its original state.

This extensive project included both restoration and new elements, and covered enriched cornices, beam cases, friezes, columns and elaborate decorative ceilings the end result only enhances the hotels five-star reputation.
